4 migrants die, 34 rescued en route from Morocco to Europe
RABAT, Morocco — Moroccan authorities say four migrants have died and 34 have been rescued after their inflatable boat capsized between Morocco and Spain.
Moroccan state news agency MAP reported that Morocco’s royal navy, police and emergency services retrieved the survivors and bodies Wednesday off the coast of the Mediterranean city of Al Hoceima.
The migrants were primarily from sub-Saharan Africa, and included five women, MAP said. An investigation has been opened into the attempted illegal migration attempt.
